They only have a positive influence on the body and mind.Q: Do Rudraksha beads have Anti-Aging properties?A: Yes. Aging is the process of cell decay. Free radicals are significant contributors to the decay of the body's cells. Free radicals are molecules that lack the appropriate electrons to be stable. In order to gain stability, they swipe electrons from other molecules such as DNA, protein, and fat. When these molecules lose electrons, they in turn become unstable and seek to take electrons from other molecules. This chain reaction destroys enzymes and produces toxic chemicals which cause damage to cellular functions associated with aging. The electro-magnetic properties of Rudraksha beads are especially valuable when worn over the heart. As the blood circulates through the heart, it carries free radicals through the electro-magnetic field produced by the Rudraksha mala. This field neutralizes free radicals so that they again become stable molecules. In this manner, the aging process is slowed. Finally, the "relaxation response" fostered by Rudraksha beads reduces the negative impact of stress on the body. Stress serves as a catalyst for free radicals. By helping to control stress, Rudraksha beads slow the production of free radicals.Q: Is there scientific basis behind the healing power of Rudraksha beads?A: Yes. One of the best known research papers was published by Dr. Suhas Roy of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology in Banaras, India.

In 90 days you will feel healthier and more peaceful. From then onwards, your body will experience ongoing benefits as the Rudraksha beads maintain equilibrium and neutralize the negative effects of stress.Q: How can you test the authenticity of Rudraksha beads?A: Rudraksha beads should sink in water. However fake beads can also be designed to sink in water. The best assurance is to procure your Rudraksha from a reliable source.
